PAGE TEN Hotly Nem letter Gossip <£StaffComspandesis at Krki Centers <f Population BY F. A. WRAY. International News Service Staff Correspondent. London. June 3. —A novel contest has taken place here, when seven university bowmen, using arrows and straw balls, met and defeated a team of picked golfers from Royston. It is about 500 years since the Scottish king commanded that ‘‘golf be utterly cried down’* in order that their people might practice archery, so golferu need not be too despondent at the result. Rut although it is true that the authenticated record golf drive is 445 yard*, while the record flight of an arrow is .‘llO yards, yet in t case it was shown that, in the or dinary way, archer* can shoot furth er than golfers can hit, ami the bowmen won by 4 1-2 points to 2 1-2. It was a strange sight. The play ers. were accompanied by caddies, but the latter looked more like (,’upids than anything else, solemnly carrying bows, arrows and clubs. At each green the archer aimed at a straw ball, and a correct hit cor responded with the holding of the ball by a golfer. From the tec the arc-hem drove their arrows as did the golfers their balls, and similar penalties as obtain in the ordinary round of golf rewarde d a badly directed arrow. Sinner or DupperV That is Lon don's latest problem. It arises from v the want of a name for a new meal. Social London now dines later and later. 9:30 and 10 being the present accepted hours. So what is a hostess to say when she in vites a guest? And is the guest to get fiis dinner before lie arrives. or should he await the point of famish ment? Several influences have helped to introduce this new unnamed meal. Visitors to the Riviera. \ru» tv ineyi dance late, rise late, play games late, still insist on an evening meal at a late hour. And so, Ixnidon hotels are now serving a meal at 10 p. m.— by which time the dancing has started—half dinner and half supper. The 11 p. m. supper is also be coming a little longer than it used to be. The reason for this is that few Londoners now dine before going to the theatre. Sandwiches and cock tails are now’ the accepted preplay menu. But what is the name to be given to this 10 p. m. meal in the ordi nary house or hotel? Hostesses and hoteliers are both eager to know. A statistical table issued by the University of London show’s that ihidents come from practically every tfbrner of the world to complete their (Duration at University College, the University's principal teaching cen ter.

There may be hidden treasure in the back graden of one of the work men’s houses now being built on the site of Heury VIII’s palace at Oat lands. Weybridgc, in Surrey. His tory maintains that the jewels be longing to Henry’s Aune of Cleves ! are buried there. Oatlands Palace was Henry's fa vorite honeymoon home, and thither 8* took Anne, though hers was a Miort stay—just long enough to have her jewels stolen, so the 6tory goes, by a servant who, when pur sued, buried the treasure on the es tate. The ghost of Catherine Howard, Henry’s fifth wife, is supposed to hannt the place- It was the home of successive queens until it was dismantled by Cromwell as "a den of royal in famy.” Its stones were employed in the building of looks and bridges in Surrey. Every day discoveries are made on the estate. The builders have ex cavated a quaint old Tudor cellar and a great brick drain running to the Thames, which local gossip has given a grizzly history.
